The discovery Of coal at ohadron, Ne.

The discovery OF coal at Chadron, Me-
braska, is confirmed and il the somewhat
over enthusiastic accounts are to be
relied upon the find is we'll worth in
vestigation. Chadron is located in the
extreme northwest county in Nebraska
on tributary of the White river, which
flows from that point northward throHR b
the bad land region of Dakota. Scien.
fists aver that these bad lands are burn
ed out coal beds, and if this be true q
coal discovery in the Chadron neighbor-
hood might reasonably be expected, pro-
vided, of course, that the fires which
burned the bad land deposit did not
reach the supposed Ohadron deposit.
The Ohadron discovery is placed at 675
feet below the surface and the coal vein
measures four feet in thickness. An
analysis of fragments taken from the
hole shows that the coal contains sixty
FIVE per cent OF fixed carbon, thirty per
cent of volatile matter and two and one
half per cent of ash. This analysis
gives the Chadron article place as o
very superior quality Of lignite--better
for most purposes than much of the So
called Il wa coal. The analysis makes it
almost identical (making the assertion
from memory with the coal taken from
the Jencks farm at Yankton and they
probably came from the same source
| namely the Black Hills upheayal. AL
physical conditions are favorable to thi
theory.

srn railroad company to construct q line
of railroad into Canton from point
some twelve miles northeast of Canton
on the Sioux Falls extension of the
Burlington. Articles of incorporation
have been fled for railroad running

The following is q fragment from the
proceedings of the national house of
representatives last Saturday afternoon
MIR. Baker, of New York, called up
as a privileged matter, the resolution
offered by him yesterday fixing day
for the consideration of territorial ad-
mission bills and, under the operation
of the rules, it was referred to the COM
mittee on rules.
In speaking of the verbal amendment,
Mr.. Clifford, of Dakota, took occasion to
crlticise the Dakota enabling bill re-
ported by the committee on territories
denouuoing it as miserable pretext, or
insult to his people and q miserable pro.
position which thay would spurn with
contempt.
Mr.. Hill, of Ohio, incidentally gave
notice that he would call up the Dakota
| admission bill on Wednesday next.
Mr. Clifford is right. The proposition.
OF congress are an insult to the people
of Dakota from top to bottom. There il
nothing in them that anybody wants
and they are purposely made objection
able that the democratic party may
thereby pass by the admission of Dsko-
Ia without definite action.

so, its value as the best of bitumious

proximate analysis shows it to contain
about IS per cent of fixed carbon, 80 per
cent of volatile combustible and 2lS Der

already rife concerning the feasibility OF

will be comparatively easy, as the for
nation is without any hard rock and en-
